INTRODUCTION OF MATH VOCABULARY

558 Sealaska Heritage Institute

Process SkillsConcrete Introduction of Key VocabularyNote: A vocabulary graphic is provided in this unit for each of the key words.Definitions for all of the key words can be found in the glossary at the back of this program.

Show the students a cherry and a grapefruit. Explain that though they can be slightly different sizes from time to time, grapefruits are generally proportionally larger than cherries and that the relationship holds constant. That relationship is also seen between variables in some mathematic equations!

proportionality

Pass out an animal cracker to each student. Ask them to do an outline of the shape on a piece of paper using a pencil. Now ask them to do a series of shape transformations. How did they “transform” the shape?

transformation

The human mind often prefers things that are symmetric in form. Ask the students to list objects in the room that are symmetric. Which are not symmetic and why?

symmetry



Show the students the picture of the horses on the beach on page 573. Explain that their image is being reflected on the water. Have them draw an animal and reflect it on the paper. Who had the most accurate reflection?

reflections

Have each student draw the front of a penny on a piece of paper including an Abraham Lincoln with a funny face. Now have them draw the penny upside down. Explain that this was a rotation of the shape. Who has the funniest Lincoln?

rotations

Give the students a piece of graph paper and ask them to draw a small simple figure or object. Now have them duplicate that object by moving each point the same distance in the same direction. Explain that this is a translation.

translations



Have the students draw a plane figure in many sizes. Explain that dilatations are enlargements or reductions of a plane figure. Why would you want to enlarge or reduce a figure without changing its shape?

LANGUAGE ACTIVITIES


Language and Skills Development

StretchPlace the vocabulary pictures on the floor, in a scattered form. The pictures should be quite close together. Have a stu dent stand beside the pictures. Say a vocabulary word for one of the pictures. The student should place his/her left foot on that picture. Then, say other vocabulary words and the student must identify the correct pictures with different parts of his/her body. You may wish to have two students partici pate in this pro cess at the same time for added motivation.

Student Support MaterialsHave the students work on the activity pages from the Student Support Materials from this unit. Afterward, review their work.

LISTENINGReview the key math words introduced in this unit. If the vocabulary pictures were not presented during the introduction, show them to the students at this time.



Right or Wrong?Mount the vocabulary pictures on the board. Point to one of the pictures and say its vocabulary word. The students should repeat the vocabu lary word for that pic-ture. However, when you point to a picture and say an incorrect vocabulary word for it, the students should remain silent. Repeat this process until the stu dents have re sponded a number of times to the diff erent vocabulary pictures.

Change TimeGroup the students into pairs. One student should be without a part ner to be “it” for the first round of the activity. Have the pairs of stu dents stand, back to back, with elbows interlocked. Say a vocabulary word. Tell the students to listen for that word repeated once again. Say a number of vocabulary words—eventu ally repeating the vocab ulary word you said at the beginning of the round. The students should drop arms and find new part ners. However, “it” must also find a partner, thus producing a new “it” for the next round of the game. The student who is left without a partner must then use the vocabu lary word you said (at the beginning of the round) in a complete sentence of his/her own. Repeat this process until all students have re sponded.

SPEAKING



The Disappearing WordMount all of the sight words on the board. For added motiva tion, you may wish to prepare an extra set of sight word cards to add to those on the board. Have the students look carefully at the sight words. Then, the students should close their eyes. When the stu dents’ eyes are closed, remove one of the sight words from the board. Have the students open their eyes and identify the missing word. Re peat this process until all of the sight words have been re moved from the board and identified in this way.

Letter EncodeGive each student his/her envelope that contains the alphabet letters. Show a picture from this unit. The students must use the cut-out letters to spell the word for the picture. Review the students’ work. Repeat, until all of the words have been spelled.


READINGIntroduce the math sight words to the students — match the sight words with the vocabulary graphics. The sight words are included in the Student Support Materials, attached to these lesson plans.



Flashlight WritingIf possible, darken the classroom. Give a student a flashlight. Say one of the vocabulary words and the student should write that word with the light of the flashlight on a wall or on the board. Repeat until many students have had a chance to partici pate. An alternative is to provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Darken the classroom, if possible. Use the light of a flashlight to write one of the sight words on the wall or board. When you have completed the writing of the word, each student should then write the same word on his/her sheet of paper. Repeat until all sight words have been written in this way.

This activity may also be done in team form. In this case, group the students into two teams. Darken the classroom. Use the light of a flashlight to write one of the sight words on the board. When you say “Go,” the first player in each team should rush to the board and use chalk to write the same word on the board. The first player to do this correctly wins the round. Repeat until all players have played.
